I wrote and co-produced this trilogy of shorts films, starring Greta Scacchi, John Locke and Samuel West, in order to explore how we approach the past, reconcile it with the present, and face the future, as we live our individual lives while subject to the wider influence of society and history.
Time and Tide has been shown at many festivals around the world, and won awards including Best UK Short Film at the London Independent Film Festival and Best International Short Film at the Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema.
The film is part of my ongoing practice to use poetry in modern work, and its success has led me to consider the potential for the wider use of dramatic verse in film.
